Our interior guys can't guard without fouling. Willis and Lee s defense is atrocious Willis is letting a 6'4 guy post him up and eat his lunch.

Man, it ain't the refs. Our players keep fouling. It can't be the refs every game. The one common denominator is the way certain players are defending. Late in the possession and playing with their hands that not their feet.

I'm getting so ******* tired of watching opponents score 13 points in 15 minutes and the ******** refs feel sorry for them so give them 15 ******* points at the line. They are shooting 33% and are within 2 field goals. Tgis **** has got to stop or i am done with cbb.

Poythress and Briscoe defacto foul outs in the first half. Fouling will be this teams biggest hurdle going forward.
We can't play our best when our best players can't be on the court.

I have said for years the only thing I dislike about Cal is his complete refusal to play any zone defense regardless of whether we can guard the opposing team or not.

Yeah. Our bigs this year just for some reason are struggling big time at playing D without fouling

Lot of FTs in this one. UK is 13 of 14 from the line. The Vols are a perfect 15 for 15.

Always difficult when all three of your good shooters are 5/17 from the field. Need Murray and Willis to make some shots. Ulis only 2/5 from the field but at least he is getting to the line.

I guess the best I can say about the officiating is that it's been even. But so many ticky-tack fouls make it almost unwatchable, took UK out of rhythm and allowed UT back in the game without really making any shots.

Seriously, is Marcus Lee one of the biggest net-negative players that we've had?

How can we not stop moore and punter? Those are the only 2 players in this game who have a prayer of scoring more than 3 field goals. This is pathetic.

How can we not guard the? They are shooting 33% and had 13 points thru the first 3/4 of that half. It's when the refs get involved that **** falls apart.
Actually watch the game. We're allowing them to drive the ball and that's why they're getting to the line (along with a few ******** calls). It's harder to do that against a zone.

Quite obvious Murray doesn't like contact. He refuses to drive the ball to the rim. He needs to take up slack on offense. 1-6 from field 2 turnovers. He has to play better.

They run at defenders, anytime the defender doesn't move, it's a foul for impeding the ball handler. Anytime the defender gets out of the way and just tries to block the shot, the Tennessee players are jumping into them and creating contact (even though it's not supposed to be a foul).

It's unavoidable it seems.

If we lose this game after being up 34-13 on this team, I don't think there's much left to be optimistic about! This is INCREDIBLY HORRIBLE!!!

And a zone stops that crap.

I agree, but the only way to stop this would be to change the "in the bonus" rule to where only shooting and technical fouls earn trips to the free throw line.
